I took the top 20 scoring players and divided their points by their salary to uncover the most “valuable” players in the #QFL. Surprisingly Rishi’s 1-1 OQ franchise owns the top 3 players.
Before the season started if I told you Philip Rivers, Kansas City D and Julius Thomas would be 4th, 5th and 18th respectively in overall scoring after two weeks, would you have believed me?
| Rk | Player | Sta | FPts | FP/G | Sal | Con | Best Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kansas City | OQ | 40 | 20 | 1 | Q1 | 40.00 |
| 2 | Thomas, Julius – DEN | OQ | 31.27 | 15.64 | 1 | Q1 | 31.27 |
| 3 | Rivers, Philip – SD | OQ | 41.64 | 20.82 | 2 | Q1 | 20.82 |
| 4 | Royal, Eddie – SD | SOQ | 39.22 | 19.61 | 2 | Q1 | 19.61 |
| 5 | Cobb, Randall – GB | QTANG | 32.44 | 16.22 | 2 | Q2 | 16.22 |
| 6 | Seattle | TENQ | 39 | 19.5 | 3 | Q3 | 13.00 |
| 7 | Cruz, Victor – NYG | SOQ | 38.1 | 19.05 | 3 | Q3 | 12.70 |
| 8 | Vick, Michael – PHI | QJ | 45.37 | 22.69 | 5 | Q1 | 9.07 |
| 9 | Bradford, Sam – STL | QTANG | 34.31 | 17.16 | 4 | Q1 | 8.58 |
| 10 | Luck, Andrew – IND | QBC | 31.52 | 15.76 | 4 | R2 | 7.88 |
| 11 | Jackson, DeSean – PHI | #Q | 35.54 | 17.77 | 5 | Q2 | 7.11 |
| 12 | Schaub, Matt – HOU | QUEEF | 32.88 | 16.44 | 5 | Q2 | 6.58 |
| 13 | Lynch, Marshawn – SEA | #Q | 31.12 | 15.56 | 6 | Q3 | 5.19 |
| 14 | Manning, Peyton – DEN | QU | 56.43 | 28.22 | 12 | Q2 | 4.70 |
| 15 | Griffin III, Robert – WAS | FRNQ | 32.43 | 16.22 | 8 | R2 | 4.05 |
| 16 | Nelson, Jordy – GB | QJ | 32.5 | 16.25 | 12 | Q1 | 2.71 |
| 17 | Ryan, Matt – ATL | QJ | 33.09 | 16.54 | 15 | Q3 | 2.21 |
| 18 | Rodgers, Aaron – GB | DRC | 46.91 | 23.46 | 24 | F2 | 1.95 |
| 19 | Marshall, Brandon – CHI | DRC | 31.01 | 15.5 | 18 | Q2 | 1.72 |
| 20 | Peterson, Adrian – MIN | QTANG | 33.22 | 16.61 | 23 | Q2 | 1.44 |
Rishi owns the three cheapest top scoring players, but watch out for QJ and QTang who also own 3 each of the top 20 scoring players (although not the cheapest). If this early indicator plays out these three teams could be tough.
The other interesting tidbit I noticed while playing with this list in excel is the heavy distribution of QBs in the top 20. There are 9 QBs among the top 20 scoring players so far whereas there are only 3 QBs among the top 20 highest paid players in the QFL. You have to wonder when QFL salary caps will adjust to this reality.
